Low-energy buildings: Bioclimatic improvements appropriate to Belgrade
Buildings consume around 40% of the total world energy and bioclimatic architecture may achieve energy savings for heating and air conditioning purposes. The geometric shape of a building membrane, its compactness aerodynamics and orientation, building aggregation, the level of isolation as well as the layout and size of windows are all determining for the energy performance of a building. In this paper it is presented an optimized configuration for the low-energy construction basis of a building, which reduces energy exchange with surroundings. Such layout, with specific south-eastern orientation (because of "košava" wind influence) is suitable for Belgrade constructions. Here is also presented an example of dense structures, which can be developed in urban areas. Above all, the advantage of such layout of the base is in its compactness, whereas south-eastern orientation allows for opportune heating of a building in the morning hours it increases its aerodynamics (by which it reduces ventilation loss for heating), and represents a compromise solution for winter and summer energy requirements.
